Share Price5 May 2020 22:56
From memory, upon announcing the Nigerian deal (and associated equity placing somewhere above 30p?), and considering gas prices are largely long term fixed prices. With the share at 8p, and the cash now starting to flow. Is anyone on here so kind to post any numbers such as EPS, debt to earnings, field life, decommissioning cost?, etc. Presumably 'back then' at 30p these were good value, surely it makes them an absolute screaming buy at these levels. The market often needs a catalyst to boost sentiment. Holders need that confidence to believe there cash is well invested. Only then will people average down, and sells subsequently start to dry up.
The market is particularly clever at lowering a share down to absolute lows, and finally start to move when noone is looking, why? Greed. Boredom. Complacency. With forced sellers it's not hard to manipulate a share down. If you wish to acquire stock, you want the best price possible. Once the market realises the overhang is clear, you will have very little time to buy, and all those traders will pounce only once its gone up 80%. The traders will bank there 12%, but is it at that point holding will give the best rewards. Patience is key. Only once the share price is free to move will fair value begin to emerge. The market is like a herd of sheep roaming around, it has confidence in numbers, noone wants to be that sheep at the front if the others won't follow, most are happy to tag along at the back where it's safest, but if your logical and transparent in your judgement you can lead the way!
